This artist's rendering of what Washington, D.C. will look like after global warming is pretty great actually

According to new modeling, THIS is what Washington, D.C. will look like if “we keep our current carbon path“:

This is what D.C. will look like if the world continues on its current trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/tFInyS9ZFi pic.twitter.com/e6HLj9haCf

This version of D.C., if the models are correct, is also inevitable as the scenario with massive cuts to carbon emissions also produces this slightly-less-watery boater’s paradise:
